The trio will enroll at Lamar in January and participate in spring practices.

Lamar played the 2010 season with eight former Navarro players on its roster. Woodard coached Navarro before Lamar hired him in May 2008.

The 5-foot-7, 185-pound Garrett led Navarro with 925 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. He also caught 12 passes for 90 yards. Sanchez connected on 49 of 52 extra points and made 12 of 16 field goals, including a 28-yard gamer-winner with 1 minute, 11 seconds left in the national championship game.

The 5-10, 210-pound Hall rushed for 1,011 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 13 passes for 292 yards and four touchdowns in 2009. He enrolled at the University of Tulsa before last season but left after he had been ruled ineligible because not enough credits transferred from Navarro. Hall originally signed with Texas A&M out of high school but attended Navarro instead.

The addition of Hall and Garrett should boost a running game sorely in need of help. The Cardinals set a school record for fewest rushing yards in a season at 663 and averaged only 2.2 yards per rush.

Lamar kicker Justin Stout, a freshman last season, made nine of 13 field goals with a long of 47 yards. He made 20 of 22 extra points.

Woodard currently has 55 players under some form of scholarship, either full or partial, for the 2011 season. The NCAA permits Football Championship Subdivision schools such as Lamar to distribute 63 scholarships over 85 players.

With only four juniors-to-be under scholarship, Woodard plans to add more junior college transfers than high school players during this off-season.
